My review for MS Access 2007: Introduction

This class was very informative and productive. I learned a lot about tables, relationships, queries and etc. Even though this was not an easy task for me, however, it was quite interesting. I stuck to the assignment(s) and completed this course.

Access 2007

Very good for teaching an OLD FoxPro DOS person (haven't programed in 15 years) some of the differences between that and Access terminology. Many things I was capable of doing in Foxpro I can't figure out in Access ( I know they are possible). Forms have been troublesome, Queries have not been so hard to understand, Printing capabilities are fantastic.
